International College of Christian Ministry's Four Tracks

The Bible

The Boston International Christian Church is a member of an international family of churches that believe in discipleship and baptism for the forgiveness of sins. In addition to supporting members in developing their relationship with God, the Boston International Christian Church also offers opportunities for higher education through its affiliation with the International College of Christian Ministry (ICCM).

Since passing the California Bureau of Postsecondary Education approval process in 2012, ICCM has granted bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees. The institution conferred more than 100 degrees during its first two years in operation. Candidates can obtain their degree with a concentration in one of four tracks.

Students interested in serving the Church in a leadership capacity can enroll in the Ministry track. The Charity track provides degree candidates with hands-on experience in international service ministry through a training session with International Christian Church nonprofit, MERCYworldwide.

Future church administrators can follow the Administration track, and the Shepherding Track trains students in pastoral counseling so they can support other ministry leaders.

About Boston International Christian Church

With a fundamental belief that the entire Bible is inspired and inerrant, Boston International Christian Church maintains a committed membership that strives to abide by the teachings of Jesus Christ in all facets of daily life. Boston International Christian Church members come to the nondenominational fold as disciples who subsequently undergo baptism and work to create meaningful, vibrant, and personal dialogues centered on their relationship with God.

The church maintains a strong missionary presence that includes initiatives such as Operation Eagle and the Crown of Thorns Project. Through the charity MERCY Worldwide, the fellowship works with the underserved and underprivileged in providing practical support with a spiritual component. One element of this effort is dental and medical clinics and orphan relief facilities in Cambodia, the Philippines, and South America. Another component is professional and personal development training that enables people to achieve better, Bible-centered lives.

The church abides by a set of core convictions that include the use of scriptural principles in creating a visible church. With obedience to God's Word as foundation, “God-given creativity” is encouraged and applied in situations where a practice or name is not prohibited by the Bible.
